A Short Proof of The Riemann Hypothesis

This document provides a short proof of the Riemann hypothesis. It considers the meromorphic function u(s) and the Mellin transform v(s) of the function w(t). It shows that the properties of w(t) being O(1) as t approaches 0 and O(1/t) as t approaches infinity imply that the Mellin transform v(s) is holomorphic within the strip 0 < Re(s) < 1, as conjectured by Riemann.

A short proof of the Riemann hypothesis

Werner Raab

We consider the meromorphic function

u(s) =
(s − 1)ζ(s)

(<s > 0) and the Mellin transform


Z ∞
u(3/2 − s)
v(s) = π = ts−1 w(t) dt
sin(πs) 0

of the function

w(t) = t−s v(s) ds = Ress=−k t−s v(s)
2πi 1/2−i∞ k=0

(|t| < 1 or <t > −1/2 respectively). For positive real values of t we have
Z ∞
1 1 tiy
w(t) = √ = dy → u(3/2)
t 0 cosh(πy)y ζ(1 + iy)
when t → 0 and
Z ∞
1 1 1 1 t−iy
w( ) = √ = dy → u(1/2)
t t t 0 cosh(πy)y ζ(1 + iy)

when t → 0.
The properties w(t) = O(1) when t → 0 and w(t) = O(1/t) when t → ∞
of the Mellin inverse w(t) imply that the Mellin transform v(s) is holomorphic
within the complex strip: 0 < <s < 1, as Riemann conjectured.
